Two thumbs up

One of the better primers out there. It really does set the stage and your makeup glides on with ease. I did notice that there was a reduction in lines on my face which other primers didn't do. This will leave your skin feeling really silky afterwards! Unfortunately, this product is something that I only get as a 'real treat' for myself. I try and make it last when I have it.

Tips: Exfoliate before using

Makes my make up last all day long!!

Amazing primer, I have only had it for about a week but I will never go back! Feels like youre putting silk onto your face, and really easy to apply. You only need a little bit! Makeup smooths over it really well and my makeup doesnt budge all day, giving your makeup a powdery finish. A little on the pricey side but well worth it.

Tips: Use sparingly!

Fantastic primer

It glides on so smoothly, and makes my skin feel so soft, definitely makes it a great base for foundation. Definitely helps by giving a smooth, even appearance of foundation, and makes it last all day!

Tips: Exfoliate and moisturize before using to give an even more smooth base for foundation!

Results!

While I don’t like the feel of this – it feels suffocating as opposed to hydrating & moisturizing, I cannot deny the results. It definitely serves it’s purpose, keeping foundation in place all day.

Pricey but worth it

Another great primer!! So smooth, foundation lasts so much longer without smudging off. Small amount goes a long way, so although its pricey it lasts ages.

A Must Have Primer

This is one of those pricey items that I think IS worth the price tag.

A little goes a long way so this will last you for a while! This primer makes my skin feel super soft and smooth. It is really easy to spread and blend into the skin and has a really silky feel to it. I find using my fingers to apply this gives the best result as you can really spread and pat it into the skin.

Silky smooth finish

This is the best primer I have used, I have tried a couple of different ones but this one was definitely worth the money. A little bit covers your whole face so it does last a long time. It's amazingly smooth and soft, leaving your skin feeling like a perfect canvas for your make-up. Even though I don't wear foundation every day it's also a great base for tinted moisturiser. It's fantastic around the eye and lip area, stops your make-up sitting in any fine lines that may be lurking. It keeps your make-up fresh looking all day long.

Tips: You don't need to use moisturiser underneath your make-up, this primer is smooth and moisturising but doesn't leave a greasy residue, so it won't absorb your make-up

Picture Perfect Ready

I often find in photos that my face is a little shiny. Enter Smashhbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer! It glides on so well that you only need to use a little bit of it. It stops all shininess in pics. Added bonus is that it makes your skin feel amazingly soft and smooth after application!

Tips: Only use a little bit in your problem shiny areas. You don't need to put it all over your face to achieve the desired results

Amazing Primer

I love this smashbox primer it goes on so smoothly, it has the most amazing feel about it, I find it makes my foundation look a lot better when I have this primer on, and makes my makeup last a whole day.

Tips: A little goes a long way, I purchase mine of strawberry net, I find it to be cheaper :-)
